Artworks invites everyone to explore its creative interests and become part of a vibrant and growing community arts center. Conveniently located in the heart of Big Rapids, area residents and visitors are encouraged to nurture their artistic spirit and participate in the arts through education, exhibits, and events.

Classes offer all ages of beginning, emerging, and experienced artists the opportunity to develop their talents, experiment with a variety of mediums, and collaborate with others to spark their imaginations.

Consider Artworks your oasis. Leave your cares at the door, and take a break from your everyday responsibilities to enjoy all that the arts have to offer.
Here’s what’s happening at Artworks this fall: To celebrate the beauty of our natural world, Artworks presents “Simply Natural.” This collection, on display now until October 27 in the upper gallery, showcases four artists who create works of natural art. Karen Hundt-Brown, an amazing gourd carver with pieces ranging from filigree lamps to a seahorse bowl. Richard Boitos is a local woodcarver with renditions of hawks and Native Americans. Tom Roos is a Michigan woodcarver with a collection of fish and birds that appear to have life. And finally, Dan Reszka shares his paintings capturing the essence of sun, water, and earth.
